The Deep Discounts Are Deadly In “DOLLAR $TORE KILLERS,” The First Original Film From Streamer FearPix

by William J. WrightMay 15, 2025

Genre streamer FearPix makes its first fearsome foray into original features with DOLLAR $TORE KILLERS. Corporate greed and the dark recesses of the web are the real monsters in this chilling new thriller.

Directed by Cleve E. Braddy from Anghus Houvouras‘ (Dead Heist) screenplay, the film stars Seth K. Hale as Ethan Wells, a true crime content creator who runs afoul of Dixie and Dax (Amelia Mahriea and Frankie Breit), a pair of masked serial killers who livestream their deadly deeds. Their grisly gimmick? They use everyday items from a dollar store to commit their crimes. As Ethan is drawn into their orbit, the line between “observer” and “accomplice” blurs. Is he willing to pay the ultimate price for internet fame?
